dallas game people talking
People are talking about the Dallas game. They're not talking about the game we just won.
believe last lose people pressure struggled talking tired year
You know what, it ain't up to Patrick. It's up to the people around Patrick. I'm tired of people talking about Patrick this and Patrick that. If we do our jobs, then Patrick is going to do fine. That's why I believe in him, honestly. Last year we struggled as a line, so Patrick struggled. If we do well, then he's going to do well. So we're not going to put all that pressure on Patrick. If we lose then it's our loss, not just Patrick's.
block car far last leadership open parking quiet role talking towards trying vibe year
I see him being more open to guys. He was a little quiet his first year. Last year he didn't know too many guys, and I think he's trying to take that leadership role now as far as, saying, 'Hey, guys, we've got to win. Let's do this. Hey, line, block this, block that.' And we need that. Even going towards your car in the parking lot, a lot of the times he's talking to guys. It's just a different vibe with him this year.

bad communication couple far five game guy improve knowing playing reaction sets slow together
Here and there, there was a communication problem, we kind of slipped up on it. It's just playing the game together and knowing the guy has got your back as far as different sets. A couple of bad sets or just the reaction was kind of slow or something like that. Five sacks is too many. We've got to improve on that.
attraction contend deals embrace gay happy identify sexual
If a person deals with same-sex attractions, they are told that the only way for them to be happy is to identify as a gay and to embrace their sexual orientation. What we contend is that a person who has same-sex attraction can identify any way that they want to.

If we don't have any change orders or time extensions, the project is supposed to be completed by the first of May. We have a very good contractor for this job and we are excited that we are finally kicking this project off.

Oh, yeah, it was sweet. An ex-Jet kicking the game-winning field goal? That's nice. That's very nice.
